The player, who had previously struggled with difficulties, is now back in the spotlight. Tennis icon and astute observer Boris Becker has expressed his belief in Zverev’s ability as he prepares for the upcoming US Open in a recent interview with Eurosport.
“In this respect, he is being taken very seriously again by the world’s top players, and that is a good sign for him,” said Becker, acknowledging Zverev’s newfound prominence. His recent performance has been nothing short of spectacular, and his hard work is clearly paying off. After overcoming injuries and a slew of obstacles, he has managed to finish tournaments uninjured.
He has been demonstrating a degree of consistency that has piqued the interest of many. The story of Zverev’s incremental growth month after month has culminated in a breakthrough. But the turning point occurred in Paris, where he broke past a psychological barrier.
“You’ve addressed his place as number twelve in the world, but what’s decisive is that of this year’s players he’s already in the top eight, and for me that’s absolute world class,” Becker affirmed.

The excitement surrounding Zverev’s performance on the court in one of the most renowned events is tangible. “He has found his hard-court form. The big hope is, of course, if he can bring that to New York,” Becker said, presenting a positive image of Zverev’s chances at the upcoming Grand Slam.
The road to this point has been a combination of hard effort and faith in oneself. “Now I think he’s had enough match practice over the year, and he’s gained enough self-confidence,” said the former player. Becker underlined the value of cumulative experience and the mental toughness that comes with it. As per Becker, Zverev’s improvement can be seen in his performances on many surfaces, ranging from grass to clay. The most notable of these is his victory in Hamburg.
Becker expressed optimism, saying, “I think now he’s also back in his head, where he says ‘okay, I’ve done my homework, physically I’m fit’.” The mental side of the game, which is frequently overlooked, is critical to an athlete’s performance. Zverev’s ability to overcome hurdles not only physically but also mentally positions him for a bright future.
As the US Open approaches, the tennis world’s attention is shifting to the player who has piqued the interest of seasoned professionals.
